That's outrageous. UWash was going to sue the FSF for infringment of an
BSD-style license when it's plainly obvious that no infringement was
taking place?
Oh, I remember this. The sophists at UWash claim that:
"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose and without fee to the University of
Washington is hereby granted,"
does not mean that you can modify and then distribute.

It is this sort of stupidity that degrades the legal profession.
